Supermac’s is the new sponsor of The Marty Squad on RTÉ Radio 1.

The show returned to the station on Sunday 11th June and airs 6-7pm each Sunday until September 24th.

The Marty Squad, presented by Marty Morrissey and Brenda O’ Donoghue, takes a look at the weekend’s GAA action with guests and analysis. The show will travel across the country with outside broadcasts planned throughout the summer.

Brokered directly with Supermac’s, the sponsorship runs for the whole GAA season up until Sunday September 24th and includes 4 sponsor-credited stings per show, as well as podcast and homepage sponsorship. In addition to the sponsorship, Supermac’s will be launching a campaign to promote the partnership.

Supermac’s Managing Director, Pat McDonagh, said “I’m delighted to be on board with The Marty Squad. ‘Supermac’s is a strong supporter of the GAA throughout the country and the sponsorship of The Marty Squad is a natural fit for us,” he said. “Both Supermac’s and Marty are synonymous with the GAA and it is a tradition for fans to come together in Supermac’s after the big game for their own post-match analysis. The post-match analysis on The Marty Squad will fuel the hunger that exists for top quality GAA analysis directly after the match. We will have a number of listeners competitions planned throughout the series and Supermac’s is delighted to be on board with The Marty Squad.”

Niamh O’Shea, Sales Manager, RTÉ Radio, said: “We are delighted to have Supermac’s coming on board as sponsor of The Marty Squad. RTÉ Radio 1 is the home of the GAA championship and The Marty Squad rounds off the week with the best of guests and analysis of all the GAA action. Supermac’s, as a long-standing supporter of GAA, is a super fit with the show and we look forward to asuccessful partnership.”
